4.26 is what percent of 23.69 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 23.69 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 23.69, so we can write it down as 100%=23.69.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23.69
2) x%=4.26
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=23.69/4.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.26 is what percent of 23.69

100%/x%=23.69/4.26
(100/x)*x=(23.69/4.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.5610328638498*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.5610328638498) to get x
100/5.5610328638498=x
17.982271000422=x
x=17.982271000422

now we have:
4.26 is 17.982271000422% of 23.69
